Rocking My Babies

Oh My God!

A one act, one scene play hosed on a true story.

The setting: The hospital ultrasound laboratory.

The characters: an ultrasound technician, a nurse, an Asperger Mom-to-be and the nervous Father-to-be.

The plot: Things are not progressing as they should be during what should have been a normal pregnancy and the primary care obstetrician is concerned for the baby’s safety. An ultrasound is ordered and is just beginning…

The technician: Here we go. This might be a bit cold (pours lubricating jell on the Mom-to-be’s stomach and begins using the ultrasound wand). Alrighty, I can see what I need to now. Here’s one head… (takes a pause and a deep breath) and here’s the other head.

The Mom-to-be: Two heads? You see two heads? The baby has two heads? (Mom-to-be gasps and with horror in her eyes, looks over at nervous husband who is beginning to slide to the floor).

The technician: Dad? Dad are you all right? Looks like we lost another one. (Shouting to the outer office) I need help in here, we’ve got another dad on the floor.

ENTER the nurse who begins to tend to the nervous husband, helping him to sit up, catch his breath, etc.

The Mom-to-be: Oh my God! I can’t believe my baby has two heads.

(She begins to shake uncontrollably.)

The technician: Two heads? Heavens no. Didn’t you know you were having twins?

The Mom-to-be: Twins? Oh my God!
